I'm happier with vintage hand wiring in vintage equipment. It's different to the day job, makes doing a good job easier, and there's no fear of tearing tracks or having to cope with carbonised panels that have to be cut away. It's all part of the vintage experience. In the day job modern world, writing off very expensive burned pcbs is always a risk and the thought that they've probably never been touched (or loved) by a human being at any part of the production, and the fact they usurped hand-wiring as a time-and-cost-cutting measure detracts from a pleasurable repair.
